Divers jump high. They try not to make big splashes. They dive into the water as straight as possible. A diver’s body creates a smaller splash because it moves less water.
What Can You Do? Why do some things make different size splashes? Ask an adult to help you find different size objects that can get wet. Drop one at a time into a bucket of water. See what kind of splash each one makes. Change the height of where you drop it. What happens?
